Today’s post is a photograph by famed photographer Edward S. Curtis, or a head-and-shoulders portrait of a Navajo man, wearing a necklace and a headband.
It’s inexplicably titled “The laughing singer.”
He looks pretty serious to me… I’ve been wondering why it would be called that. Any ideas?

He does look pretty serious. Maybe he’s usually a laughing singer, but declined to smile for the picture? Still, it seems sort of odd that he’d still title it “The Laughing Singer” when he’s obviously not laughing
